14. The officer May be wrong about your ticket-they are human & capable of mistake. State your case once, if the officer disagrees and issues the ticket. Don’t argue. Sign the ticket. It’s not an admission of guilt, but a promise to appear in court. Go to court. Fight the ticket

Not all criminals look like criminals. Not all good people look like good people. A cop is trying to make this determination during the initial moments they contact you. Comply-that’s what law abiding citizens do. Help present who you are by complying.
